The Democrats sow hatred, encourage cities burning, incite murder and mayhem and pit American against American — all to their malevolent end: totalitarian destruction and control of this great nation.
They must be stopped.
Foundation With Biden Campaign Ties Funding Leftist Agitators On U.S. Streets
While activists Ford funds desecrate cities and terrorize regular folks, the foundation gives millions to the ‘Defund the Police’ movement.By Sloan Rachmuth, The Federalist, August 31, 2020
Last Sunday, the site of the Republican National Convention in Charlotte witnessed a night of violence leading to at least five arrests. Since Friday, Black Lives Matter activists terrorized the Queen City, including beating police officers, in an effort to intimidate GOP attendees and business owners.
By contrast, the Democratic National Convention in Milwaukee brought only a small gathering of peaceful activists, who declared: “We decided that it would make sense for us to make the emphasis of our action the one point of unity that deals with police crimes.”
Here we have a real “tale of two cities.” To understand the disparity of these two convention host cities separated by only a week, let’s examine some financiers of organizations fomenting the riots now taking place across the country.
Big Money, Connections to Top Democrats
Claiming to be America’s second-largest private foundation, the Ford Foundation has poured almost $2 billion into groups active in “disrupting systems to advance social justice,” according to its grant database.
The Ford Foundation boasts key members of the Joe Biden and Kamala Harris campaign as alumni executives. Harris’s sister and ex-campaign chairwoman Maya Harris served as the Ford foundation’s vice president alongside Biden’s now senior advisor, Cristóbal Alex, who served as its program director during the Obama presidency.
Some of Obama’s top staffers are now Ford Foundation’s top staffers. Taara Rangarajan, now Ford’s chief of staff, served as Obama’s national security advisor from 2013-2016. Before that, she served as a special assistant to Susan Rice during the Benghazi affair. Another Ford exec, Xavier de Souza Briggs, served as President Obama’s associate director of the Office of Management and Budget.
Funding for Communist-Connected Street Agitators
During the final months of the Obama presidency, Ford Foundation gave prominent leaders of the communist Workers World Party (WWP) funding to form the Southern Vision Alliance (SVA), a collective of activists that includes members of the group raining down terror in Charlotte last week at the RNC convention.
Shortly after getting $200,000 from the Ford Foundation in 2016, these activists performed one of the first violent and illegal teardowns of a historic monument in the country, in Durham, North Carolina. After the activists were arrested and charged for rioting and property damage, they are being defended in court, for free, by lawyers from another Ford grantee: the Southern Coalition for Social Justice.
Flush with Ford Foundation cash, these activists continue to promote property destruction and violence during demonstrations.
The Ford Foundation likes what it sees in the alleged criminal gang. This year, the wealthy nonprofit gave the group $750,000, more than tripling its inaugural donation, bringing Ford’s total contributions to SVA so far $1.2 million, according to the foundation’s website.
Millions for Marxists
Marxist-Leninist groups also get Ford Foundation support. Directed by Bernie Sanders’s senior advisor Phillip Agnew, the Dream Defenders group seeks the release of criminals from prison and the “end to the Capitalist system in the United States,” according to its now-scrubbed web page. The Ford Foundation has given the group $1.1 million, according to its grant database.
Social media accounts show the Marxist activists campaigning for Democrat mayors, state attorneys, and prosecutors in Florida who promise to end cash bail, defund the police, and free hardened criminals from jail.
Dream Defenders’ tactics vary: they shut down bridges in Florida, holding thousands of commuters hostage during rush-hour traffic; block entrances to Miami neighborhoods, threatening residents with unrelenting “civil unrest”; and shut down awards ceremonies for law enforcement, all in an effort to raise awareness for Democrats’ de-policing policies.
A tour through the Ford Foundation grant database shows Southern Vision Alliance and Dream Defenders to be a tiny part of these riot-fomenting groups agitating on American streets. While activists Ford funds desecrate cities and terrorize regular folks, the foundation gives millions to the “Defund the Police” movement.
As I reported in the National Pulse, Ford cheers the success of its anti-police campaign. From its website: “Already, we’ve seen our grantees at the forefront of the change that’s taken place over the last few days—from the City Council of Minneapolis’s pledge to dismantle the police department to reimagine public safety to Mayor Garcetti’s commitment to divest $250 million of the LAPD’s budget to support affected communities, to Minneapolis and Portland, Oregon voting to end the presence of police in their schools.”
Cities that have sought to cripple their police departments in acquiescence to such agitators’ demands have forced out police chiefs and seen officers leave the force. The result: murders and violent crimes, including shootings, assaults, and rapes, have increased exponentially in the nation’s biggest metros, according to multiple reports.
Accountable to No One
The Ford Foundation is financing a network of insurgents that intimidate elected officials and citizens to bring about dangerous political change. The FBI defines using intimidation and violence to achieve political ends as domestic terrorism.
Like other private foundations, Ford is governed only by basic IRS filing requirements and has virtually no public oversight. With woke leaders like Cisco’s CEO Chuck Robbins, Ford Motor Company’s Henry Ford III, and abortion giant Planned Parenthood’s former president Cecile Richards sitting on Ford’s board, be assured it will not cut off the funding to these Democrat street squads.

Ouch, sudden switch, Kamala and Biden campaigns funded rioters and paid for their bail. Kamala just said on national TV that she strongly supports these violent demonstrations, and said they will not stop if she is VP.

Why does the pompous arsehole Henry Ford III use such a moniker? Those kind of suffixes (should) only apply to monarchs & aristocrats in Britain where I live & other European countries that still have monarchies or vestiges of them. There’s a simple way to deal with such ultra rich hypocrites & bleeding heart liberals. If Mr Ford & the other Sorearssians are so sympathetic to violent criminals, then they should be encouraged to take them in as tenants or lodgers in their gated communities or ensure that they live next to them as neighbo(u)rs!

Surely, no one is gobsmacked by this report. The faux-Democrats, Joe Biden, the whole Marxist enchilada supports never-ending rioting, looting, the burn baby burn maxim of the wannabe Bolshevists. The myth spinners have woven a fabric of utter perfidy about Biden. He is not moderate, never was and never will be a moderate.
Old school Liberalism died a long time ago; it is so far left of center, this league of Communists is tantamount to the likes of Lenin, Stalin, and Mao. Obama, likely, flooded Biden’s vacuous mind with Obama’s take on Marxist ideology. Ironically, old Joe has managed to retain the base Commie dogmas in his one functioning brain-cell.

No one is defending this country. President Trump has put an enemy of the state in as Director of the FBI. Christopher Wray is even worse than Comey. He simply stands and watches the Nation burn. No arrest or investigation of the radical revolutionaries destroying this country. Why does Trump leave him in? He is obviously an enemy of the state.

THE FOUNDER HENRY FORD IS ROLLING IN HIS GRAVE AT HIS DESCENDANTS WHO SHOW WHAT UNIVERSITY EDUCATIONAL INDOCTRINATION AND TRULY TOO MUCH PRIVILEGE CAN DO! BOTTOM LINE IS REPUBLICANS NEED TO TALK TO FORD MOTOR COMPANY ABOUT ISSUES AND POTENTIAL BOYCOTTS WITH THE FORD FOUNDATION! ALSO, AFTER HE WINS RE-ELECTION PRES. TRUMP SHOULD REQUIRE THAT FOUNDATIONS LIKE FORD CAN’T BE POLITICAL TO KEEP THEIR TAX BENEFITS AND ALSO IT SHOULD BE MANDATORY THAT THEIR BOARDS THAT GOVERN FUNDS FOR SOCIAL CAUSES BE EQUALLY BI-PARTISAN FOR THE MONEY TO BE TAX EXEMPT BEFORE PAID OUT AND THAT CONTRIBUTIONS REQUIRE AT LEAST 2/3RD APPROVAL OF ANY BOARD!
CHINA VP DEMENTIAL DADDY JOE MIGHTY SLOW NEEDS HIDING BRIBE’M/BIDEN ACCUSES PRES. TRUMP OF FOSTERING RIOTS BECAUSE HE IS UPSET AT THE VOLUNTARY RESISTANCE DEMONSTRATED IN PORTLAND AS IT IS KEEPING THE democ-RAT MOBS FROM WALKING ALL OVER US LIKE PLANNED! ALSO LEFTISTS KNOW THE BENEFITS OF ACCUSING RIGHTISTS OF DOING WHAT THEY THEMSELVES ARE ACTIVELY DOING !
WE CAN THANK THE OBAMA FOR CUTTING JAPANESE QUALITY FOR THE MONEY MITSUBISHI TRUCKS THAT HAD A 100,000 MILE WARRANTY FROM THE USA ALLOWING FORD AND GOVERNMENT MOTORS OR G.M. TRUCKS SO MUCH MARKET SHARE HERE! I USED TO THINK FORD WAS BETTER THAN GOVERNMENT MOTORS AND IT SUCKS TO BE WRONG!
WE ARE AT WAR WITH THESE democ-RATS JUST LIKE THE SPANISH NATIONALISTS WERE AT THE ALCAZAR OF TOLEDO, SPAIN IN THE SPANISH CIVIL WAR WHERE THE RIGHT IN EVERY WAY SIDE WON! GET USED TO IT AND THERE IS NO SUBSTITUTE FOR VICTORY AND NO SURRENDER!

If we were civilized …
… Ford Foundation would be seized under RICO, and it’s assets applied to the national debt.
… It’s board members and executives would then be hanged until dead …
Think about it … hanging murderous, genocidal traitors is how our ancestors dealt with this scum
… If we let them get away with their plans
… they will TRY to turn us into a prison planet with their jack boots stomping on our face forever …
But what will really happen – is everything will break down – and we will wind up back in the stone age. … Because all the Left can do is kill and destroy and raise up an Idiocracy.
They actually blame those us – including moi – who have spent our lives making sure their Quota Quacks did not kill or destroy any more than they did …
*** And on that happy note … have an excellent weekend!

Dan, there are red flags all over the money flowing to and from BLM Inc. I cannot wait for the reports to be published.
***
One giant red flag was Walmart’s corporate giving department having $100MM laying around to give at exactly the moment the riots flared. Corporate giving on that, and even much smaller scales is ALWAYS planned in advance. I’ve never reviewed any type of corporate report where money like that was available for giving at any time other than the start of a fiscal year. Many of us are eager to log on to the EDGAR system to review the applicable 10-Ks as they become available. Watch the financial industry print space. Someone there will be brave enough to publish our preliminary work. Let’s hope at least one mainstream media outlet will be honest enough to run further with what we already know we’ll find.

If BLM purported to represent a different ethnic group, say…Italians, the RICO violations would already be out of the Grand Jury stage and in prosecution.

Oh, yes … I’m not a forensic accountant – just an engineer/patent attorney – but I’ve been around.
… I bet the evidence is extremely powerful. … In particular, why are all of the big boys so eager to pony up their protection money? Seems to me … if we had phone records from say – walmart – it would be very revealing.
… to be fair, I’m sure some corporations – eg Disney, Kellogg, Coke + the usual suspects such as Google – were happy to pony up
– but I bet there is some serious backroom arm twisting on others. I believe this because I’m an optimist, but also I think we would already be done without some patriots in the woodwork trying to gum up the Lefties’ machine … If we could find that arm twisting it would lead us to the real connections …

Ah, I’m not a forensic accountant.

Some this I have done:
–been a hired gun investigator who worked with IT people and forensic accountants
–investigated and filed SARS reports for firms I’ve worked with
–been the designated (A)nti-(M)oney (L)aundering officer for a national firm
–been the director for a mid-sized firm’s Investment Advisory division

BLM cash flow is swimming in a milieu of red flags.

Noting ANTIFA’s responses to you and to me, I have arrived at the conclusion they hate anyone who is mathematically competent.
